Legend

this temperate, swamp-covered planet was orbited by no less than eighteen moons and natural satellites, ranging in size from large boulders to near-planets. Because of the passage of these moons in close proximity to the planer, Bogden's surface was literally pulled apart by the gravitational "tides." Several times a day, the land moved and swayed as moons passed "over" and "under" the planet, and the beings who called Bogden home had to learn to walk and maintain their balance as the ground shifted underneath them. Most of the moons of Bogden were inhabited by smugglers, bounty hunters, and other criminal elements. During the early years of the New Order, Bogden was the site of a secondary pirate base maintained by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. It was there that the pirate held Gerin, daughter of Lord Toda of Tammuz-an, in an effort to take control of the planet. Note that A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Second Edition, claims that this world was a moon named Bodgen.
